The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office has released home surveillance video of a man Conroe homeowners say on Wednesday night stole several items, including a loaded pistol, from vehicles in their driveway.

Deputies investigating the incident in the 9900 blockof Cassowary Drive determined no signs of entry indicated the vehicles were not secured and learned of an attempted breaking in of a next door neighbor’s vehicles. A vehicle burglary where a pistol was stolen from an unsecured vehicle also took place on nearby Western Ridge Way, leading deputies to suspect both incidents may be related, according to a Sheriff’s Office press release.

The man is being described by the Sheriff’s Office as white with a shaved haircut, wearing light-colored clothing and carrying a backpack. Anyone who can identify the man or with information on any of the incidents, is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 936-760-5800, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-392-STOP, reference number 19A117905 or 19A117823.
